CW’s Arrow based off DC’s Green Arrow character airs Wednesdays at 8/7c.
It’s great that we are seeing Quentin really react to the knowledge that Sara is dead. Laurel finding him in a bar is a nice reminder of their common struggles with addiction. Laurel didn’t spiral into the bottle this time. Quentin has and I think the difference is that one of them has an outlet…
Count Vertigo was back in business this episode. instead of haunting Oliver, the focus was on Laurel. This was rather fitting as we got to get a bit deeper into Laurel’s mindset as she settles deeper into her role as Canary. As much as one would hope that we have understood the motivations behind Laurel’s…
With the police abandoning the Glades there is no one to protect people from Brick’s men and other troublemakers except for Arsenal and Canary. With back up support from Felicity and Diggle, it’s a small team to protect so many people. My one issue with the scenario is that Diggle is sitting everything out in…
After Laurel’s sudden appearance as Black Canary last week, it’s good to see that she’s not out there being successful. She’s going after criminals and doing her best to fight. While she’s not entirely incompetent, she isn’t nearly skilled enough to be doing this on her own. So much so that Arsenel needed to pop…
Just because Oliver Queen may be dead and three days have passed that doesn’t mean trouble will stop in Starling City. Even in that brief absence, it appears that Diggle is already picking up the Arrow mantle as he dons the hood and works with Arsenal to take care of criminals in the city. They…
This post will be highly spoilerific with major spoilers from last night’s episode of Arrow, “The Climb” as it presented an event with major consequences for Starling City. On last night’s episode of Arrow, Oliver was forced into a position where he had to save Thea’s life from the League of Assassin’s after her father…
The League of Assassins are back in full swing with threats and reveals. Sarab, one of the League’s own will kill 50 people every day until Sarah’s killer is found. Only Sarab is the name that Maseo goes by now. Oliver has two days to find the murderer before this happens, which kicks the team…
In short, the crossover event between Arrow and The Flash was a success if only in the sense that it made me want to see the pair team up more often. Now don’t get me wrong, there were a number of things that just didn’t work well in the crossover episodes, but thankfully, there was…
Arrow like usual kept it’s dark tone despite the crossover. Unlike most episodes the moments of levity were a bit more prevalent. Arrow remained highly focused on the plot which involved Captain Boomerang. After a string of killings Arrow made headway when he tracked a lead with Arsenal to a location with ARGUS. Yes, ofcourse…
The flashbacks clued us in to some events that happened the night the mirakuru men ruled the city. Oliver saved a woman on the streets from some of the mirakuru men attacking her. That was the night Oliver created a monster. The woman he saved adopted the name Cupid. She’s now running about the city…
The heart of this episode was guilt like the title implied. Aside from the very obvious painting of GUILT with the trail of bodies that kept popping up in the episode, we went through a journey. Most of the characters on this show have some sort of guilt lingering on their conscious. Roy is dealing…
Felicity was front and center this episode as we got to see Felicity for the first time out of the confines of a mission or the hideout. For once we saw Felicity in her own element, at her home. Can I mention how cute her apartment is. Felicity is often given sufficient screen time, but…
If there is one thing that I’ve recognized this season it’s that very few characters are the same. Ollie is quickly and easily recognizing that Thea is not the same girl that she once was. She’s more mature and everything about her is exuding it. It is a great change for Thea’s character who often…
All about Thea. As Oliver’s little sister, and probably the love of Roy’s life, it’s not surprising that the two would both head off to Corto Maltese to make sure Thea is alright and attempt to smooth things over. It was nice seeing Thea welcome Oliver with a hug rather than be bitter. He is…
Sara is really gone and somehow Laurel managed to carry her dead body all the way back to Oliver’s lair. If that wasn’t a show of strength that she was on her way to become Black Canary, then I’m ready to see the real first indication. The real focus of the episode is actually Sara…
So, I pondered...
